I am embarking on another project of 1895. IJN YOSHINO

There is also a kit by OceanMoon:

I think that is much better than the Modelkrak kit.

[mrwawa]

I got the kit.. it is exact copy of ModelKrak.
but with finemold gun shields ( early british accessory kit )

[maxim]

Oh, I do not have the Modelkrak kit, but I had seen the small parts, which looked better - at the first view. It also includes a S-model sprue as included in their kits of Chinese ships.

[mrwawa]

yes , you are correct... i am working on Yoshino hull now..

but need to confirm about housing under the funnels.. again

anyone with Yoshino photos, links, anything.. please post here.

On all of the photos I have the deck houses midships are not really visible because of the bulwarks

Mrwawa, the forum does not display .tif images, so I changed it to .jpg and reuploaded it:

I located a new Yoshino kit from some no name chinese manufacturer (not same as Oceanmoon kit). I have that one incoming to my store, and also considering build her myself.

Price would probably be around 30 Euro from my store.
